The panel discussion will focus on the rise of AI agents and their impact on financial services. The discussion will be followed by a networking reception with executives and opportunities to make meaningful connections. 

Discussion Focus:

  • Shift from automation to autonomy: Agents that can plan, reason and execute workflows—not just respond like chatbots
  • From copilots to coworkers: Agents acting as semi-autonomous operators across research, trading support, risk and operations
  • New operating models: Human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop supervision at scale
  • Where value is accruing: Moving beyond cost takeout to revenue generation (alpha discovery, client personalization, faster deal cycles)
  • Legal and IP implications: Model training data, output ownership and licensing risk in LLMs and AI agent deployment
  • Control and governance layer: Risk, compliance, auditability and model oversight becoming the gating factor for enterprise adoption
